If you are choosing between MEDGm and Noom, price alone will not settle it. Both prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide, so moving from one to the other would not change your drug. MEDGm leads our six-part score, 7.4 to 6.9.

MEDGm vs Noom price

MEDGm and Noom start at the same figure, $179 a month, so the entry price does not separate them. Look at what each price covers and at the per-drug prices below.

Drug by drug: Semaglutide costs the same at both, $179 a month; tirzepatide is cheaper at MEDGm ($279 a month vs $349 a month).

Medications and formats

Both sell semaglutide and tirzepatide.

On format, MEDGm prices compounded injections, while Noom prices compounded injections and brand-name pens.

If you want the FDA-approved brand rather than a compounded version, Noom is the only one of the two with a brand-name price.

Where each one treats patients

MEDGm says it treats patients nationwide but does not list states, and Noom does not publish where it ships.

Noom's price also covers coaching, which MEDGm does not claim.
